About Your Trip

Florida saltwater fly fishing for Redfish, Snook, Tarpon and Cobia in this lush and tropical fishery will challenge any fly fisher, from novice to master! Anglers from far and wide dream about sight fishing the unique waters of Boca Grande and Charlotte Harbor with a fly rod, and for good reason, too. There are tremendous opportunities for visual strikes in this pristine one-of-a-kind fishery. If feeding flies to cruising tarpon in the open shallows, busting snook in the mangroves, or hunting tailing redfish in knee-deep water gets your heart pounding then you are in the right place.

Austin encourages you to bring your own gear, but can supply rods, reels, and secret weapon flies from his collection. He also provides water and ice aboard his baby-blue 17' Maverick flats boat. This sweet little boat is the ultimate saltwater skiff!

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.
Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass.

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.
Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.
After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
